Vinotherapy

PerryGolf Staff

Bordeaux in France is a popular area for golf, wine and food.

Les Sources de Caudalie is a luxury hotel located in the heart of renowned vineyards and offers an interesting spa treatment for those seeking something a little different; “Vinotherapie”.  This original and exclusive skin care is based on a combination of hot natural water and the health and beauty enhancing properties of grapes and wines.  Treatments include red wine bath, barrel bath, exhilarating massages, wine and honey wrap, water jet shower, spa bath with jet stream and Turkish bath and these can be incorporated into your tour cost.  The perfect way to pass the day and relax during your vacation.

Ashford Castle

We often receive requests from clients to experience a stay at a castle when travelling to Ireland and Scotland.  Due to logistics it is not always possible to stay in a castle every night during your golfing vacation, but it is certainly feasible to include a night or two in your itinerary.  In Ireland, Ashford Castle is the ideal location when playing Connemara Golf Club; it has recently has been voted ‘Top Resort in Ireland’ in Condé Nast Traveller’s 2011 Gold List, and one of the top hotels in Ireland in Travel & Leisure’s 2011 World’s Best Awards.

I have previously blogged on how great Huka Lodge is, so I was delighted to see this great article on the Conde Nast Travel website – click here to view.  Under recommended hotel and “Super Lodges” I can confirm that both Huka Lodge & Cape Kidnappers are indeed super lodges and a definite must visit while in New Zealand; the service and accommodation are second to none!  The pictures just confirm how great these properties are…the best way to spend time and relax during your golf vacation.

Fairmont Savoy Hotel, London

A while ago I added a blog about the refurbishment of the famous Savoy Hotel on The Strand in London.  I am delighted to report that the hotel opened its doors on Sunday the 10th of October 2010.  The 10/10/10 was projected by numerologists as a very prodigious day for romance, new projects and art – what better day to open a hotel with links to the Edwardian and Art Deco era and all its romance!

The Kings Club at the Kingsmills Hotel, Inverness

The Kingsmills Hotel in Inverness is the perfect place to be based when playing the three great courses of the Scottish Highlands, Royal Dornoch, Nairn and Castle Stuart.  The hotel has recently added The Kings Club, which is a separate building around a hundred yards from the main hotel.  It is perfect for couples and groups of guys alike with luxurious and spacious bedrooms decorated in tasteful warm colours.  All of the rooms are identical and all have either a balcony or a patio depending on which floor they are on.

Whilst the fact the reception area adjoins the restaurant, which I thought was slightly strange and could spoil the evening ambience (it does work well for breakfast) there’s another dining option in the main hotel, so this feature doesn’t detract too much from the quality of the Kings Club.  With it being in the perfect location to commute to the golf courses, and with Inverness city centre nearby, it makes sense that almost anyone going to this area stays there.  As the main hotel is only a slightly less expensive option, and with the Kings Club being so impressive, I’d urge anyone staying in Inverness to opt for the more modern and luxurious option as you won’t be disappointed.
